My husband and I went here to have a quick lunch before we checked into the house we rented. We felt like outcasts as soon as we walked in. The clientele was a bit older then us and they stared us down as we were walking to our table. We were sat by a window overlooking the deck and river,... more

I have tried to get in touch with the reviewer for more details about their lunch experience at the Owl Cafe. She has not replied. I find it curoius and a bit disconcerting that a guest that is "in the business" never had the presence of mind to alert a manager or host or other server to their unsatisfactory situation....

We like restaurants where the chef uses some imagination in preparation, sauces and ingredients so we lean more to gourmet style restaurants. We also like a bottle of wine with dinner. If this is what you look for also The Owl Cafe is the finest restaurant in town and compares favorably with some excellent big-city gourmet restaurants we've eaten in.... more

Recently returned from a trip to Apalach. My wife and I had dinner at Owl Cafe, and we highly recommend it to other travelers. Excellent food, great service, and very comfortable atmosphere. On our next trip to the area, we will certainly return to the Owl Cafe. more

Wonderful experience at this restaurant. Nice view of the river on the 2nd floor. Fabulous homemade salad dressings and bread. I had an excellent soft shell crab special. Others had the grouper, triple tail and scallops and chicken. All wonderful. Will return. more

We were recommended here by the innkeeper at the Gibson Inn (we didn't stay there, just had drinks at their historic bar), who described it as Apalachicola's fine dining spot. It certainly fit that bill and had a surprisingly strong wine list (the reds are cellared in a handsome room you can walk into). The kitchen is very strong, though... more

My kids and I ate here for lunch. There is outside eating overlooking the bay, but there is no shade, so the waiter encouraged us to eat inside. The service was prompt and friendly. I had the lump crab meat sandwich, which was very good. My kids had the fish and chips special. There were generous portions of the fried... more

Lovely old building, friendly professional service, impressive wine list, delicious and well-prepared fresh seafood. Entrees come with salad, potatoes or rice and steamed vegetables, which seemed old-fashioned, but provided good value. Though all three of us were stuffed, we managed to share a creamy, light caramel custard to end the meal on a perfect note. more
